Chapter 13: The wedding calls.

The continuous and increasingly annoying neighing of horses together with the chomping like noise of their hooves against the cobblestones prompted Sigrid to wake up.

She opened her eyes and looked out of the window, it was rather dull outside, the sun had yet to bless the day. "It has arrived," she silently thought.

The day of her wedding had come, the two days had gone by rather quickly, she had used what little time she had to pack up her belongings and sent them out to the crown prince's fief or The Stormwind as it was named after it's lord, master and owner, the crown prince.

The Stormwind castle was perched high on the edge of a rugged cliff close to the boundary of the capital city of Eldoria named Doria. It overlooked the sea and was known for it's vast lush green pastures which were used to breed and raise the finest horses in the kingdom.

Sigrid was not too excited to be moving to Stormwind, it was comparable to moving from one city to another in her opinion which was largely exaggerated as the castle was only a three hour ride away from the center of the city.

The door opened with a creak just when she was about to close her eyes and return to slumber land.

"Siggy, it's time to wake up."

Iryne Thorin, her mother pushed her way inside together with duchess Mila and they found their way to the bed. Lanai and Lama were not far behind the women along with her mother's personal maid Mirena.

Sigrid twisted int he bed and groaned but made no move to sit up.

"This child, you are getting married today but you still are acting like a little girl." Iryne commented.

She pulled the covers back and the cold air from the window which Lanai had just opened hit Sigrid who winced and unwillingly sat up. Her hands searched for the bed covers but her mother swatted them away as if they were annoying flies.

"You are about to become someone's wife, the crown prince no less. In future, you will have to rise at the cock's crow and do the duties of a crown princess." Iryne told Sigrid. In her voice was some minor chastising.

"She has maids for that Iryne, I don't think the crown princess must wake up at cock's crow to prepare breakfast for the prince." The duchess commented.
